We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
Poor St. George. Patron Saint of England and he’s so overlooked in the celebrations department.

The Easter Egg Hunt 2020. In the spirit of honesty, when writing this I was losing my marbles over the sheer amount of arguments going on over Fortnite and playing with friends online and so I’m channeling Easter Sunday vibes and trying desperately to remember that they were all smiling at each other at some…
